WHAT CIPROXIN HC IS
USED FOR
Ciproxin HC is used to treat an
infection of the outer ear caused by
bacteria. This condition is known as
bacterial otitis externa. It may cause
itching or pain.
Ciproxin HC contains two active
ingredients:

Ciprofloxacin; a
"fluoroquinolone" antibiotic
which kills the bacteria causing
the infection.

Hydrocortisone; a corticosteroid
that reduces the pain, redness
and/or inflammation.
Ciproxin HC will not work against
infections caused by viruses, such as
colds or the flu, or infections caused
by fungus.
Before prescribing Ciproxin HC for
you or your child, your doctor will
have examined the ears and decided
that Ciproxin HC is the right
medicine.
Your doctor may have prescribed
